BA 100 · RGB TILE OVER SPLIT
Resolution that survives the operator
A pixel-on-target spec — not a marketing footprint.
Many wide-area systems advertise coverage in square kilometres but cannot resolve a vehicle in any of them. BA 100 is sized backward from analyst needs: vehicles and vessels resolvable across the full 415 km² frame.
BA 100 · LWIR — ONE PASS, THREE BANDS
Thermal · Through smoke, through dark
LWIR is co-registered. Not a separate flight.
Co-registered RGB, NIR, and LWIR means an analyst can switch bands on the same frame, same pixel, same moment. No re-flight, no fusion guesswork.
What BA 100 enables
Operational outcomes — not just imagery.
- 01Maritime traffic patterns and AIS-anomaly detection across a port-approach corridor.
- 02Border surveillance with persistent stare and forensic playback.
- 03Search-and-rescue across drift areas measured in hundreds of km².
- 04Wildfire perimeter monitoring with LWIR through smoke.
- 05Pipeline / transmission-corridor monitoring with night capability.
